The only positive thing I can find with this team/season is that Dave Scott is probably even more furious now and there’s nothing he can do about it.

Did the second kid effectively back check? If so, I think the Flyers could have an in-house solution for 3C.

The one that scored 2 goals over celebrated on his goal which lead to a goal against, but was clearly faster then the other players and back-checked quite a bit and scored a 2nd goal.... so yea, sign him.

7 weeks sounds like forever...painful!

Back during 2006-07, Homer did make deals before the deadline.

The Forsberg deal was ahead of the TDL by a couple of weeks, I think.

So maybe something gets done before the deadline, but not likely.

I think Kaako Kuppari beyond being fun to say, has the best chance to be a steady player that can be relied on to score. Hughes IMO is either going to be an exceptional or a bust. I need one of them to make this season be ok.

On the plus side, you only have to sign 12+ players before next year.

He's like the guy that thought he had a small mouse problem, only to have someone pull up a small piece of dry wall to find an entire nest of rats.

From what I saw of Hughes at the World Juniors, I'm not seeing a guy that is a clear cut top pick. I'm also not seeing anything special in his stat lines that would convince me he is that guy. Sure he is fast, but he is small, real small. His game seems to be of the playmaker variety, and frankly, this team needs to be drafting top flight snipers. Guys who can put up 35 in their sleep at the NHL level.

I'm intrigued by Dylan Cozens.

Kakko plays in a grown men league and is putting up impressive numbers.

I would like to see more of dach cozens who didnt play in wjc. And podkolzin was extremely impressive imo.

Do you think JvR has any value at all? Do you think ANY team would even consider picking him up off waivers with that salary?

“Wayne Simmonds on the boo-happy #Flyers fans: “I think the guys that have been on the team here should know. You don’t show up....You don’t give it your best effort, you’re going to get booed in Philadelphia. Everyone knows that.”

Then give your best (frank)ing effort

- arichardson22



if you have a bad game....it happens. But this has been going on for how many seasons minus a few winning streaks that gets them into the playoffs a couple seasons. I was offered 2 box seats and 2 seats 3rd row upper level and I actually passed. i NEVER pass on tickets. Not even seeing Hart play got me to go.

I get the sky is falling and we want everyone gone..but im.not preparing for a lengthy rebuild. I want a shake up not a tear down. I'm not trading Jake simmer jvr gudas amac weise weal raffl laughton lindblom and whomever else you all think your trading. Pick 3 guys tops. Yeezus. Trading every remotely talented player we have wr will be a bottom dweller for a century.

Now this is somewhat logical thinking.

I wouldn’t make a deal now either. While I’m not sure Myers coming up right now, I am for waiting to see what we have before blind dealing. Can Morin play nightly in this league? We won’t know until February. Can we put together a decent combination of players within the next month. I personally believe that any line up that includes Jordan Weal on the third line is a bad line up. I personally believe constantly moving forwards from center to wing is bad for consistency.

Wow, what a weird name coincidence (it's not like a common name like "Smith" or "Taylor" or something like that)....if you follow the Phils, I'm sure you've heard of this guy:

The future is so bright, the farm is bursting with young talent, next year boy, next year boy, did you see this kid, and that kid?
We had the evil genius GM who built a future juggernaut!

Bull$hit!!
Complete bull$hit!!

I don't want to hear another word about Hughes', or Frost, or whomever.

They've managed to make rock bottom an eventual improvement goal.

Tell it to the empty building

What would be tougher to go against?

1 Boyd Gordon sized duck or 12 duck sized Boyd Gordons?

Can you imagine the amount of #glueguy that 12 Boyd Gordon's would produce if they were all in the same room? It may cause the world to explode.
